Movie Obsession: Pirates of the Caribbean

Aaargh! Finally a chance to re-confess my love for Johnny. Depp, the only man who can pull of eye-liner and still look hot. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides opened last weekend, grossing over $400 million, and setting global records. Every Pirates movie to date has been a guaranteed laugh as we watch the loopy Jack Sparrow attempt to conceal his true motives, throw everyone under the bus along the way, but in the end, win their hearts back and undeniably, ours too.

More From Seventeen

This time around the cast has switched out Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom for my girl crush (and super-hottie) Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane. Sparrow and the gang go on an epic journey to find the fountain of youth. The movie is jam-packed with action, as they try to defend themselves against mermaids who are definitely not your typical, sexy, long-hair-seashell-bikini-top types-who knew they could be so vicious!?

Also, Sparrow is reunited with an old fling and struggles to figure out whether the woman is back for love, or whether they are two criminals in a pod willing to do anything to do anything in order to win the prize (which in this case is, youth). Make it a date and go see the movie for yourselves, in 3D! You'll leave loving Depp more than you did before and also rethinking any future mermaid costumes you had planned.
